A cruise

The advantage of going on a cruise is that you can visit multiple destinations during one trip, which can be extremely satisfying for children, who have a tendency to enjoy variety. Cruise ships now offer all the comfort of home or a chic hotel and many family friendly activities. Careful you don’t get seasick though!

The South

Whether you chose to go to Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba or the Dominican Republic, heading south is definitely a popular choice for families in Quebec. All-inclusive hotels offer very reasonable prices for a vacation under the sun the whole family will remember forever. We suggest a little swim with the dolphins for extra fun for the kids!

France

If your budget allows it, it is definitely worth checking out the City of Lights for a fun family vacation. Adults will be charmed by good wines and quality cheeses while your little ones will love to spend the day on the beaches of the south of France. In Paris, you can visit the Eiffel Tower or say bonjour to your old friend Mickey at Disneyland.

England

The birthplace of Harry Potter, you will now be able to visit the studios where they filmed the series if you are a fan. For a little history, you can also visit the many museums London has to offer for free or go to the Tower of London. For even more fun, we suggest a stop at Legoland or the bird’s eye view offered by the London Eye.

The Alps

For the ones that need to escape but don’t actually mind the snow, the Alps is the perfect vacation spot. Sports enthusiasts will definitely be happy with all the skiing. But if you are more the type to cuddle in a log cabin in front of the fire with a hot chocolate, you can do that too!
